Region 4 ‘C’ rolls out enhanced security plan for safer Christmas season

Regional Division 4 ‘C’ on Monday presented its annual Christmas Policing Plan during a meeting held in the boardroom of the Region Four Regional Democratic Council (RDC). The session was chaired by Superintendent Jermaine Dufu, with Assistant Commissioner Khali Pareshram delivering the main presentation.

According to the Guyana Police Force (GPF), the plan outlines the Division’s operational approach for the period November 15, 2025, to January 15, 2026, focusing on crime prevention, traffic management and community engagement during the holiday season. Assistant Commissioner Pareshram reported a 29 per cent decline in serious crimes compared to the previous year. He attributed the reduction to increased patrols and stronger coordination with key stakeholders.
Key measures in the plan include heightened foot, vehicular and anti-crime patrols in major commercial areas, intensified traffic enforcement along main roadways and continued collaboration with businesses to bolster public safety. The Division also urged residents to take simple personal security precautions and to maintain cooperation with police during the busy period.
